"The original mansion and the grounds are beautiful. The decorating in the hotel portion and rooms feels outdated, but the beds are really comfortable. The shower heads are about chin height, which is annoying. The location is a bit off the beaten path. All in all, a comfortable place to stay."

Best San Jose - Silicon Valley hotels

San Jose - Silicon Valley HotelsLeading the digital charge, Silicon Valley is a breeding ground for technological innovation - and this sense of ambition has rubbed off on San Jose, giving the place a unique, dynamic atmosphere. While the valley’s cities are all thriving business hubs, they’re also perfect for a vacation, and absolutely packed with things to do and culture to taste. San Jose is particularly alluring, and a great place to while away relaxed evenings sipping fruity Californian wines in crowded bars and restaurants. Things to seeTechnology’s increasingly important in our lives, and you can learn about the genius behind the buttons and bleeps we now take for granted at San Jose’s Tech Museum. Find out about the next generation of robots – which are being devised in San Jose’s labs – and the roles tech can play in creating a greener world – all explained by enthusiastic staff members and interactive exhibits. There’s more to San Jose than just technology, however. Smooth marble and gold statues decorate the interior of the city’s Roman Catholic Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph. Lit by stain glass windows, and a glass umbrella that invites the light inside, the sun illuminates wooden carvings of apostles, and brooding paintings of sacrifice and redemption. If the cathedral leaves you craving a little more art, head across the road to the San Jose Museum of Art, where aggressively brushed modern works, and jagged glass sculptures, sit alongside more traditional paintings. Young children will love Happy Hollow Park and Zoo, where they can touch the soft wool of sheep in the petting zoo, and see vibrant flashes of red shooting between trees, as large parrots take flight.Hotels in
